Do you know Bulma, a very nice alternative to Bootstrap as a CSS framework? We are going to create a simple website with Bulma and React!
- Fork this repo
- Clone this repo
-
Upon completion, run the following commands
git add . git commit -m "done" git push origin master
-
Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.
First let's get set up:
Run
create-react-app lab-bulma-react || my-app-name
cd lab-bulma-react || my-app-name
npm start
The strcuture of the files should be similiar to the following:
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
├── .gitignore
├── public/
│ ├── favicon.ico
│ ├── index.html
│ └── manifest.json
├── src/
│ ├── App.css
│ ├── App.js
│ ├── App.test.js
│ ├── index.css
│ ├── index.js
│ ├── logo.svg
│ └── serviceWorker.js
In your index.js
, have ReactDOM
render just the App
component:
ReactDOM.render(
<App />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
To get Bulma, install the npm package:
$ npm install bulma
Now import the Bulma CSS in your index.js
:
import 'bulma/css/bulma.css';
Create a Navbar
component, very simple, that displays a link to "Home", "Login" and "Signup" like in the following example:
To help you, you can use the code from the Bulma Transparent Navbar.
In the end, you will just need to write Navbar
in your JSX to display your navbar.
Now it's time to create a new component FormField
we will use multiple times in the future.
// JSX version
<FormField label="Name" type="text" placeholder="e.g Alex Smith" />
<FormField label="Email" type="email" placeholder="e.g. alexsmith@gmail.com" />
<!-- What is rendered in the DOM -->
<div class="field">
<label class="label">Name</label>
<div class="control">
<input class="input" type="text" placeholder="e.g Alex Smith">
</div>
</div>
<div class="field">
<label class="label">Email</label>
<div class="control">
<input class="input" type="email" placeholder="e.g. alexsmith@gmail.com">
</div>
</div>
What is visually rendered
The goal is to create a component called CoolButton
that creates a <button>
with the nice Bulma classes.
You will find the Bulma buttons documentation here: https://bulma.io/documentation/elements/button/
// JSX version
<CoolButton isSmall isDanger className="is-rounded my-class">Button 1</CoolButton>
<CoolButton isSmall isSuccess>Button 2</CoolButton>
<!-- What is rendered in the DOM -->
<button class="button is-rounded my-class is-danger is-small">Button 1</button>
<button class="button is-small is-success">Button 2</button>
What is visually rendered
Because there are many cases to code, focus on the following classes: is-primary
, is-success
, is-danger
.
If you need any help, you can have a look how to take the content between an opening tag and a closing tag: Children in JSX
Change your Navbar
component so it uses the CoolButton
component for the "Login" and "Signup" buttons.
If you want, you can do all the cases by using the following object:
{
isActive: 'is-active',
isBlack: 'is-black',
isCentered: 'is-centered',
isDanger: 'is-danger',
isDark: 'is-dark',
isFocused: 'is-focused',
isGrouped: 'is-grouped',
isHovered: 'is-hovered',
isInfo: 'is-info',
isInverted: 'is-inverted',
isLarge: 'is-large',
isLight: 'is-light',
isLink: 'is-link',
isLoading: 'is-loading',
isMedium: 'is-medium',
isOutlined: 'is-outlined',
isPrimary: 'is-primary',
isRight: 'is-right',
isRounded: 'is-rounded',
isSelected: 'is-selected',
isSmall: 'is-small',
isStatic: 'is-static',
isSuccess: 'is-success',
isText: 'is-text',
isWarning: 'is-warning',
isWhite: 'is-white',
}
Create a Signup
component that contains:
- A
Navbar
- A form with
- A
FormField
for name - An
FormField
for email - A
FormField
for password - A
CoolButton
for submitting the form
- A
Now, you can:
- Refactor your code
- Create a
Container
component (for the class "container") - Create a
Message
component (see the following explanation)
Now, we are going to create Message
component. You can find the documentation on Bulma's website: https://bulma.io/documentation/components/message/
// JSX version
<Message isInfo title="Hello World">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. <strong>Pellentesque risus mi</strong>.
</Message>
What is visually rendered
Happy coding! ❤️
